Tutorial 3 - Leaf Modelling/Texturing

Using a combination of photoshop and 3D studio max's texture options we were able to create a very realistic looking leaf texture from a default high quality image.

Adjusting the specular level in the texture gave a more living feel with a moisture wet look while adding a bump map helped bump up the texture and give it more depth while shaping the leaf with some soft selection vertex movement and rotation made it look 3D.
